Police were first called to a burglary in Duke St, Cambridge, at 3.49am and a burglary at Super Liquor, Te Awamutu, on Sloane St at 4.42am.
The alleged burglars’ vehicle was stopped after police used road spikes near Bader St, Hamilton before a police dog team arrested four youths.
It’s about this time the woman - who is jointly charged with a 28-year-old Hamilton man - is alleged to have shot at police.
Her counsel Charles Bean today failed in his attempt to get the woman bail on three charges; two of using a firearm against three police constables and wilfully attempting to pervert the course of justice by discharging a firearm at police to divert their attention away from a group of offending actively avoiding capture.
The first two charges carry a maximum of 14 years’ jail, while the third carries a maximum of 7 years’ prison.
Judge Phillip Cooper remanded the woman in custody to reappear next month to enter pleas.
